Yeah I know... I see a lot of Porsche Cayenne's in these parts. It irritates me. I feel people need to make decisions, either you drive an off the road vehicle, or you drive a sports car. If you want to have something that is both, you'll end up with a device that is neither...

THANK YOU!! I'm not the only one who finds those things to be hideous monstrosities of poor design, low imagination and a belief that customers will shut up and pay when SURELY their common sense tells them they're driving a death trap! Gods those things make me want to puke a fat one!

It is PRECISELY because of that model (and BMWs X5 and whatever the hells Mercedes is offering smiliar) that I have boycotted Porsche, BMW and Mercedes. I will not buy a car from them. Ever.

These damn things are deathtraps waiting to happen - take a corner as though you're in a sports car, SHIT sorry skippy, you're top-heavy and you ROLLED it! Too bad about your kids, eh? They were in the back y'know, that part that's now crushed.

My main machine: Slow (300-800MHz) Athlon 650MHz, 320Mb RAM, running Vector Linux 5.9 Standard Gold exclusively. I did put Vector on my *fastest* computer, not sure what sivatheja meant by the reference to AMD. I think this thing will fly compared to what it will do under MS-Win. Open Office starts faster than with my wife's Celeron 2.66GHz running XP.

My Frankenstein machine: Very slow (below 300MHz) Pentium 133MHz, 128Mb RAM running DSL. It will play MP3s while I read the news online. Is this a candidate for VL Light? I would like to know, and it would need a boot floppy.

My main system: 2.66 GHz Intel, 160GB, 1GB with XP pro SP3 My secondary system I use for Unix-related homework:Toshiba Satellite Pro 4200 500Mhz, 20GB, 128MB -VL light B2 as main configured os, VL light RC1 and DSL as trials. In the summer I'll move on to RC1 or 2 whatever will be the newest VL light then. I love configuring it, doing things manually but I rarely have the time. (and I have lots of configuring to do, etc. make the lid button shutdown the machine cause I'm lazy to do it by hand, customize everything I can and so on )

p.s.: the Cayenne thing, it really dilluted the Porsche brand but it also brought it a huge amount of money for Porsche. It's thinking about buying WV, it would have done so long ago if it wasn't for the german authorities nosing in...
